Surgery went well nothing adverse.
Not out of the woods but a bit of a relief to hear that.
I suspect even if successful there’ll be management of total blindness for a bit.
But so far that’s good news.

This is really great to hear. Temporary total blindness will be horrific but it’s better that it’ll get better rather than worse.
I am guessing this is a massive wake up call for your parents. Fuck I don’t know what I’d do if mum had a fall and went blind…
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
So far so good mate 🙏
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I’m glad to hear it went well. I have my fingers crossed

Oh for pete’s sake. My aunt who I saw on Monday was trying to clean out things from her house on Thursday and slipped on some gum leaves on her steep and uneven front steps and hit her head on the ground. Had a bit of minor whiplash. She’s been resting all weekend thankfully. Once I’ve finished moving I’ll go offer to help my aunt and uncle with moving crap outside. After reading about Bottom_racer’s mum I’m not to keen on them risking another fall. They have two grown children who have no interest in helping…
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I hope she’s ok Kitten.
If she’s got any signs of dizziness, vision problems all of sudden she needs to go see a doctor about a possible concussion.
I’m hoping it wasn’t too bad of a fall and impact.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I think she’s okay given that the fall was on Thursday and she has been resting since. But I’m wary of her having another fall in the coming week, I hope she is very careful. She and my uncle feel like they have to do everything themselves because they are (a) frugal and (b) unable to rely on their kids for help, but it’s not worth a fall.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oh no. Hope it’s all ok.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oh no. I hope she’s okay. Definitely check in on her over the next few days.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oh man I’m sorry. I hope she’s okay
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Hugs and keep an eye on her. Seems the bad effects of falls can take a few days to appear.

So my aunt is clearing her house out as she’s selling it, so has been giving boxes of old stuff to her kids. Yesterday she had a box for the birthday cousin (her son lol), and it includes his old pair of Heelys from when he was a teen.
I exclaimed how cool that is! How I always wanted a pair, and he should definitely try them on again and wear them! Because they’re cool!
He laughed and said he wasn’t gonna wear them, they have a skull design on them and he isn’t interested…
Long story short, he gave me his Heelys after checking they fit. And they do! I thanked him profusely and probably will continue to do so lol
My inner child is fucking stoked!
indisin@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I am so jealous. Please wear them out and enjoy them for my inner child too!

Had a pretentious dinner with my partner and we had beautiful chats, got home in time to watch some silly shows together.
Turning 40 half our ago ain’t so bad! Still breaks my brain, but here’s to the next 40.

Happy birthday!! Sounds like a lovely evening to celebrate, hope that’s the tone for the year!
Where was the pretentious dinner?
indisin@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Thank you! And sorry for the late reply, birthday n all.
It was at Sunday. Wouldn’t recommend. Defo not worth $450 for the monotonal flavours. Nice place though.

Bummer, mental health
Oh man. I really feel like I’m deteriorating in the place where I live. Constant fight or flight and can barely eat. The suburb is nice elsewhere but it’s quite rough in my immediate spot and there have been many incidents which have led to ptsd. It goes so far beyond a pinched package (or three). Some pretty serious stuff has happened here and I just haven’t gone into any of it. I’ve exhausted every avenue that wouldn’t leave me worse off. Now shaking the tree for one last possibility on the chance I might be able to move out but the place won’t even be built until like 2026.

I’ve got so much shit to do today and I don’t want to do any of it. Have started with dishes and laundry. 🥱
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The German guy on the telly this morning “It’s schnappy hour somewhere in the world” when offering the shot of schnapps to morning weather dude. 😂
Yeah I watch morning tv. I am not embarrassed about that.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Laundry is out… going through the clothes after avoiding it all morning. Emotions! Letting go of clothes that have meant a lot in the past but over the last few years of numbness that started during the lockdowns, barely looked at let alone worn. I’m not into dressing up much, but I miss the person who used to wear these. Some things I’m happy to let go of though. Lots of things from 12-14 years ago 😬
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Seems like falls are popular :( they hurt.
Saw mum this arvo briefly she was high as a kite but doing well. just got a call just now telling me to put something over her strawberries and I didn’t have the heart to tell her something has already eaten them :(

Cat has the farts. send help
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Gone through all my clothes, culled about 30% - half in the bin, half to the op shop. Nearly all the other clothes are packed. As are the hangers, and all my paper bags and bubble wrap has been consolidated. Plus two loads of laundry.
Cooked up a big dish of pasta with white bean, roast pumpkin, salmon, zucchini and baby spinach for the next three days, and some dal for tonight.
Far out I’m exhausted, that’s enough for me today. Next task is to consolidate all the bits and bobs hiding in drawers all over the place. And move all my boxes somewhere out of the way.

I think I’ve been ghosted by a couple more buyers. Grrr. I did sell the cotton reel holders though, so it’s not a complete loss. I’d just really like some of this big stuff to be gone!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I hate opening a new bottle of something to find those stupid fucking ring pulls. And if they happen to break while pulling then it takes all my courage not to throw the thing. 🤬
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Nope. Back in 4 hours lol

Curse you custard bao buns. Why must you come in packs of six. And why must i steam all six at once
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I’m hungry. Being hungry makes me indecisive. So I can’t decide what to have for dinner. This is a problem.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I potted two more zucchini plants out into bigger pots. Trying to decide whether to keep 6 or keep it at 4.
If I keep 6 I will need more potting mix… I still need the stakes too. It seems easier to get tomato stakes and put them in the pots so everything is freestanding. Plus if I need to move them there’s minimal disturbance to the vines.
The potting mix isn’t a problem. That’s too heavy to get stolen (I hope). The stakes though incur a $25 delivery fee… I probably have to enlist help there.
The pet shops are also giving me a hard time about delivering to a friend’s address. I forced myself out for the treats and Zylkene but hate doing it and the local doesn’t have her biccies. I’d sort a parcel locker but ran into issues

Lazy Sunday.
Work might be a bit stressful tomorrow, but I’m ready with receipts if anyone wants to have a go at me.
Fingers crossed. Would hate to have things fall apart right now.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
So much tidying and cleaning to do but I have made olive bread too and done a little reorganisation. :)
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
The shop in front of Melbourne Central that used to say ‘vapes’ now says ‘candy’. Of course, they still sell vapes.
I don’t think this ban has really stopped people :D

Morning. Do remember to peel the label off the bottom of your new frying pan before cooking breakfast.

I finally found this song again for the music video playlist.
The Animal Collective - My Girls
I got completely lost because I thought it was by the Australian band Dappled Cities

Tteok-bokki is my comfort food right now! Went to Maita in Caulfield yesterday and bought so many goodies. They even had Coolish! Barely made it out the store before opening that up!

I am so worried about today.
Mum’s going in for eye surgery this morning (which I only knew as of yesterday). She has only partial vision in one eye and that’s what they’re operating on. This is so risky and the outcome will take weeks. Fingers crossed.

My Grandpa had some eye treatment recently and it turned out well. It wasn’t surgery but the results were good. I’m hoping for the same for your mum
